I'm thinking about trying the Advocare 24 day challenge to detox my body but i'm a little scared because I don't know how it will affect me post op! If you've tried it can you please share your experience??? Thanks!!!

I did a lot of research into advocare. Forgive me for potentially over-simplifying it, but if you simplify it, it's Vitamins, caffeine and Fiber.

If you are post sleeve, you're already taking good vitamins. Check!

You can drink tea for coffee for caffeine. Check!

And you don't need fiber to fill your tummy like non -ops because your tummy is small, and you already have restriction. For non-ops fiber fills you up and helps you lose weight by cutting down your intake.

For those who are sleeved, Protein fills you up and cuts down your intake by forcing the pyloric valve to shut down.

Really, IMHO, save your money for the new clothes you will no doubt need as a result of the surgery.

let your sleeve work and save your money. Best of Luck

I was wondering about the Catalyst from Advocare. Has anyone taken that product?

Detoxes are almost universally marketing hype. Detoxing is what your liver and kidneys do. Really. Save your money, follow your preop and postop instructions from your surgeon, and don't either add to or subtract from those instructions without checking first with your surgeon.

Catalyst is a bunch of amino acids - all of which you will be getting with the emphasis on protein on both pre and postop diets. Save your money!
